General Discussion / Re: Host Age
« on: September 20, 2013, 05:25:13 PM »Seeing what I have from the various (horrible) tulpa skype groups that have sprung up over the past few months and the various IRC's, maturity is a large part of it, but it does correlate to age. In more than one occasion, a great topic is brought up and discussed by the older members, only to have it derailed by the younger members. Most trouble and drama was also caused by younger members as well, yet again on multiple occasions as well.
With that being said, I just prefer older hosts due to the better possibility of them having a fitting maturity level.
That definitely is a problem and well, of course, usually younger ones are more immature than the mature ones. Me, I wouldn't turn away mature young people though, but I wouldn't like the immature older folks. That's why I say there shouldn't really be any age limits to making tulpas, it should be about one's maturity level.

The true reason why Tulpanet will go down will be that we kept fighting over light and dark themes. waffles is wrong

You know we need this thread. We always fight over light and dark forum themes. Which one is better here, Headline or CoalBlack? I'm here to tell waffles that dark theme is always superior.

Tulpa Diaries / Re: Here Goes (#1 Diary Entry)
« on: September 20, 2013, 04:34:20 PM »
Hey, I'm not even sure who you are, but good to see new people. Afraid we don't have much in the way of guides here yet, so it's great that you already got started before. Not nice to try directing people to guides that don't exist. Guess we'll try to help you in any way we can now, huh? Will be interesting to see a new forcer go through this.
Head pressures always were a great help to me. Later on I was smart enough to actually use them to my advantage and made a communication system based on them. Made us actually able to have some kinds of conversations going without my tupper actually being able to talk yet.

General Discussion / Host Age
« on: September 20, 2013, 04:26:07 PM »
Let's get this party started.
So, hosts and age. Tulpas are being made by some very young people these days and I feel like this is an interesting enough topic to talk about, so why not? Tell us, what do you think about young hosts or old hosts or do you maybe think there's some minimum age of tupperforcing?
My opinions, let me tell about them. We do put our ages into numbers, but in the end, it doesn't mean too much. You can run into someone who is 30 and is an annoying, immature little brat, and then you can run into someone who is 12 and is a super smart kid you want to hang around, because they just have this aura of maturity their peers don't have. When it comes to tuppers, I don't think age means anything.
On one hand, young people are most likely going to be immature. They don't quite understand how much time and effort this takes, or what exactly their responsibilities will be. A tulpa will be with you you entire life, as far as we know. A young person might make a tulpa for a stupid reason and grow bored of them, which is a terrible fate for anyone. They might not understand that they and the world will change and as such, what they thought was a good idea might not be a good idea in the future. One should always think about the future of them and their tulpa, which many young people living in the now don't even consider. Their teenage years especially will be very difficult and full of change, which is when a lot of problems might arise for young hosts.
And at the same time, a young adult might do the same or have their own stupid reasons to have tulpas. As a person grows older and starts getting more and more independent, their life changes. The school gets harder and now they have to worry about money and getting a job, having less and less time to spend with their tulpa. Stress creeps in and maybe they decide they wish to concentrate on themselves instead of some imaginary being in their head.
But a young child with a tulpa might also be a wonderful sight. The tulpa would be a special friend, the person closest to the kid. The one you can tell secrets to without having to fear they will tell those to others. They can help a child in a way the child understands, because the tulpa itself would be very young as well and able to put themselves in the kid's shoes. As they grow, a tulpa could easily help them over many shitty situations assuming the host is a smart and responsible kid and their relationship healthy. Same goes for the older ones, a tulpa could easily help with all the stress if you can look at the situation in the right way. A host and tupper relationship is something special when done right. You just learn something about yourself as you make a tulpa and you get everything you pour in and more back.
It's not for everyone, though. TL;DR: Immature hosts won't get far, while mature ones definitely will. That's what my short answer to this is. It's not about the age, it's about one's maturity and ability to deal with problems and responsibilities. It's almost like getting a pet. Some kids do it wonderfully, others leave their pets to starve. Adults are the same.

Announcements / Welcome to Tulpa Network
« on: September 20, 2013, 01:53:10 PM »
Tulpa Network is a site for talking and gathering information about the tulpa phenomenon and especially looking at the modern type of tulpas in a scientific and mature light. All that really means is that we do not buy the paranormal explanations some might offer and that we're going to treat each other like adults here, with honesty, opinions and freedom of speech all considered very important and allowed – no, desired – on these forums. It doesn't mean humor and lightheartedness aren't allowed, but there is a time and place for that and serious talk. After all, freedom of speech is important, but together we shape the whole community. Our goal is not to grow large, but to gain an excellent member base we all can be proud of.
We are also trying to create a place where tulpas can easily post and be themselves without being forced to make a big deal out of their origins, which is why we have a subaccount system in place on these forums. Host, tulpa, it does not matter here. You're welcome and treated the same as the rest no matter what you are.
Tulpa Network lacks hidden boards and all boards are open to read for everyone with or without accounts. Guests are allowed to make threads and post in their own threads in the Questions and Answers board for those quick questions, and both the Forum Discussion and its child board Moderation Feedback have full on guest posting, meaning you can also reply to someone else's thread in them. Right now the guest posting system is something we are trying out and we are hoping it won't be abused in some way.
We strive for mod transparency as well and make sure our moderation team stays in check. We're not here to slap your wrist when you make mistakes, we're here to talk it out so we can help you understand why something ended up being a problem. And of course, you're free to do the same to the moderators. Your feedback is important to us.
No place can be a place where everyone will want to stay, but if you agree with what has been written above, Tulpa Network most likely is the place for you to learn and teach about tulpas.
For more reading, you are going to want to look through our Rules and the How to Forum thread is going to help you set up a subaccount and explain some extra features these forums have. For any strange terms a new tulpaforcer might run into on these forums, the Glossary is going to help. Reading through the How to Tulpa thread and looking at the Guides forum is suggested before you start out and do remember to check the FAQ before you make a thread in Questions and Answers.
Deleted Posts board is where we will move every post or thread deleted by a mod and we will also list a reason. This way we can save every post in case they are needed later. Please look at the Reports board before you report offensive posts in case they have been reported before; this way we can stop having the same post being reported over and over again. Posts are reported the normal way by clicking the "Report to moderator" link every post has, please do not post your reports directly on the Reports board. There is no need to, it happens automatically.
Thank you and we hope you enjoy your stay.

Oh it was 200? I tried it before and it just looked too tall in this thread with one-liner posts. Good size, but just a bit too tall if my post isn't long too.

I put up an avatar that is sorta long, 150 px was our limit for height? Well anyways, mine is less than that, do you think it makes the post too long? Especially when I write short posts.
